Ever wondered what goes on behind those signature red shirts and ever-watchful sunglasses? Our lifeguards do more than just sit poolside — they’re trained professionals who help create a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for every guest. Here’s a look at what a typical day looks like for our aquatic heroes:
- 7:00 AM – Rise & Shine
The alarm blares, and it’s go-time. No snooze button today — the pool awaits! After jumping in and out of the shower you throw on your lifeguard gear, feeling that mix of chill and responsibility that comes with the job. - 7:30 AM – The Sacred Coffee Ritual
Before anything else… coffee. Lifeguards are powered by caffeine and good vibes. A quick stop at your favorite spot fuels you up for the day ahead. - 8:00 AM – Commute & Pump-Up Playlist
You hit the road with the windows down, rocking out to a hype playlist that gets you mentally prepped to watch over the waters. - 8:30 AM – Clock In & Check In
Arrive at the facility, clock in, and connect with your supervisor. You find out your rotation spot and get your first task — it could be unlocking the hot tub gates, rolling out basketballs, or prepping the activity pool. - 8:35 AM – Slide Test Time
Yes, you get to test the slides. It’s not just fun — it’s safety first. But yeah, it is pretty fun. - 9:45 AM – Gear Up
Grab your rescue tube and strap on your hip pack. Quick gear check:
-CPR mask? ✅
-First aid supplies? ✅
-Sunglasses? ✅ - 9:50 AM – Opening Watch Begins
Head to your first station and open your area. Whether it’s the slides, lazy river, or wave pool, you’re the first line of defense — eyes sharp, presence steady. - 10:00 AM – Break Time – The Guard Rotation
You’re on the rotation circuit now — 45 minutes of high-alert lifeguarding, followed by a switch. Each zone has its own vibe and challenges. Stay focused, stay cool. - 11:40 PM – 3:00 PM – Break Time
Breaks are staggered during this time. Time to refuel and recharge. Snack, hydrate, maybe catch a little shade or chat with your team. Even heroes need a breather. - Post Break– Back in the Game
Another rotation, another set of eyes on the water. You’re back in the zone, watching swimmers, ensuring safety, and ready to spring into action if needed. - 7:30 PM – Done for the Day
You head home tired, sun-kissed, and proud — another day of keeping the waters safe and the swimmers smiling.
